Abstract

Objective: To describe and analyze the passive smoking exposure level in adults aged ≥40 years in China. Methods: A total of 75 107 adults from 125 sites of COPD surveillance points in China were surveyed by electronic questionnaire during face to face interviews. After comprehensive weighting of the samples, the passive smoking exposure level was analyzed. Results: The passive smoking exposure rate of the adults aged ≥40 years was 44.9 % (95 %CI : 42.3 % -47.5 % ). The exposure rate was highest in those aged from 40 to 49 years (51.0 % , 95 %CI : 47.9 % -54.1 % ) in term of age groups, in those with senior high school education level and above (48.6 % , 95 %CI : 44.9 % -52.2 % ) in term of education level, and in office workers (57.7 % , 95 %CI : 51.8 % -63.7 % ) in term of occupation. The adults reporting passive smoking exposure every days in a week accounted for 27.7 % (95 %CI : 25.5 % -29.8 % ), and those reporting household passive smoking exposure accounted for 28.3 % (95 %CI : 26.2 % -30.5 % ). Logistic regression analysis showed that the passive smoking exposure level was different in different age groups and occupation groups. Conclusion: The passive smoking exposure level is still high in adults in China. Age and occupation are the influencing factors of passive smoking exposure level.
